Jak 2 fucked my 13 year old brain up.
Having played the first game a little late, I rushed off to spend my savings on the sequel as soon as it came out. I was not ready for the dark turn it took. It was like someone had snuck GTA 3 into a kids game without any one noticing, going from a cute but kind of dirty kids game to a dark city with cars and guns where you could run over people and get into a fight with the cops.
It’s not the news you’re looking for, but you deserve to know about OpenGOAL nonetheless.
It’s a project that aims to revive the programming language that the Jak & Daxter series was written in. They’ve mostly succeeded in porting the first game, and somebody has already made mods for it.
Now port them for real, cowards.
Like I know that this is just spam for a scam game and it’ll get rightly nuked soon, but can I just take the time to mention how delightfully shit a name for a game “teen patti master” is?
You hit the exact right combination between potentially NSFW, useless and confusing.
Kudos, now fuck off.
Alert.
It’s broken. The initiative die in BG3 is a d4, which makes the bonus from alert game-breakingly good.
I am honestly not sure if you’re joking or not
Neither is “loved” and “most subscribed to”
I think bloodborne holds a lot of reverence because of the themes it portrays. Besides Sekiro, which also has a cult following, all the other Souls games are based in and around medieval fantasy of some sort.
Bloodborne starts in Victorian England with a Van Helsing story and the descends into Lovecraft really fast. For a lot of people, myself included, that’s inherently a more interesting setting than medieval fantasy. People who are into victorian England are really passionate about it, and people who are into Lovecraft are really into Lovecraft.
It’s an excellent game, was a lot of peoples first From Software game, and unlike the majority of big titles from that time period, hasn’t been ported, updated or remastered.
Additionally, out of all the “Souls” games, Bloodborne is still the only one that can’t be played at over 30fps.

Ep 45 & 46: Xbox Underground
Ep 92: The Pirate Bay
Both are fantastic.
Steven Seagal fatly going around corners.
Noted!
Aaaand thats going on my To Listen list.
Kind of hungering for new podcasts right now, and this sounds like one I didn’t know I needed.
Thanks!
Well written.
I think an important concept to introduce is Pulse Width Modulation, or PWM for short.
Normal AC Power coming out of wall looks like a sine wave, in that it smoothly cycles between +110/240V and -110/240V. This means that 50% of the time the voltage is positive and 50% of the time the voltage is negative.
PWM usually deals with signals which are either entirely on or off, with no transiton between them. This way, you can vary the amount of “power” delivered by varying how much of the time the signal is on and how much of the time it’s off.
Dimmers usually modify the sine way in a way that tries to accomplish the same thing, by chopping up the signal to make the effective “on” time be shorter than 50%.
With non-dimmable LEDs, this messes with the AC to DC circuitry in the lamp in the way slazer2au says, because the lamp doesn’t retain enough power between two on-cycles to stay on.
The verticality is absolutely the best part. My biggest gripe with Elden Rings world is that it’s an “open world” game in kind of the same way Ubi games are. Traversal is largely trivial, so you stop paying attention to the map after you’ve reached major areas.
In my opinion, Dark Souls I is also an open world game, but instead of a 2D map all the zones are tangled up together in a confusing but interesting web.
Shadow of the Erdtree brought some of that back by having zones stacked on top of each other to a much heavier degree than the base game, while also segmenting off geographically close regions.
I wanted to be a level designer for a lot of years, so this is admittedly a bit of a soft spot for me, but I absolutely loved having the game world come at you as as a challenge, almost a character to be fought and bested, outside the legacy dungeons.
Arm is worth 5.3bn USD and employs just over 8000 people. Intel is worth just over 100bn USD and employs 124,000 people.
Nvidia is worth 42bn USD and employs 30,000 people.
That makes Intel over twice as valuable as Nvidia with over four times as many employees.
I definitely think that Harris has a better chance than Biden, but I agree. The current surge in optimistic articles about Harris feels like it’s riding a wave of elation following Biden’s withdrawal.
People want to be reaffirmed in their belief in Harris, these articles feed that need.
Built a new PC for the first time in a decade last spring. Went full team red for the first time ever. Very happy with that choice so far.
